iStent®

The Glaukos® iStent® is an exciting new technology for the treatment of glaucoma, and Virginia Eye Consultants is the first in Hampton Roads to offer the procedure. The iStent® is the first FDA-approved trabecular micro-bypass technology that improves the eye’s natural fluid outflow to safely lower eye pressure by creating a permanent opening in the trabecular meshwork.

Similar to Trabectome, the iStent® is a minimally invasive surgery, known as MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery). In fact, the iStent® is the smallest medical device ever approved by the FDA and is truly a revolution in glaucoma treatment. It is so small, patients aren’t able to see or feel it after surgery; although, it is continuously working to help reduce eye pressure. Virginia Eye Consultants’ Dr. Constance Okeke is the first in the Hampton Roads area to provide both Trabectome and iStent® procedures to patients.

The procedure is FDA approved to be performed during cataract surgery in patients with mild to moderate glaucoma. Great candidates for Glaukos® iStent® are those with visually significant cataract and open-angle glaucoma currently taking ocular hypotensive medications.

Testimonials

From the moment, I made my appointment for a consultation to the very end of the surgery, it was amazing!

I recommend Virginia Eye Consultants for LASIK eye surgery over any other place. You don't just get better vision... You get trusted doctors and staff members who love what they do and do it amazingly well.

It has been 3 months since my correction in both eyes, the results are amazing. The facility is pretty impressive, and they obviously move a lot of patients through here, but I found the staff to be friendly and caring.
